With the County's announcement that outdoor sports competitions can resume with modifications starting today, the City is gearing up for all new episodes of "South County SportsZone" and is sharing the first "Coach's Corner" with Paul J. Higgins episode of the year. 

The Mission Viejo Television Programming spotlights riveting local sports action, covering the latest and greatest football, volleyball, water polo and other games with highlights, interviews, players and more. 

The City of Mission Viejo is developing a Vision Plan for its recently acquired Oso Creek Golf Course and adjoining public space and is hosting a virtual workshop March 11 to share project alternatives and get your input to further this community project.

The Oso Creek Golf Course and Public Space Virtual Workshop is from 6-7:30 pm with registration available on Zoom.

A special food drive to help support Mission Viejo students and their families who have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic takes place next week. 

You can help provide meal support to 200 students and their families by visiting the Albertsons at 23072 Alicia Parkway March 1-5 to purchase the requested food items such as peanut butter, boxed and bagged pasta, canned soups and more - and the food will be delivered to local families. 

With the pandemic causing challenges for families and school-age children faced with social isolation and depression, the City of Mission Viejo is partnering with Parent to Parent Strategies to offer support and resources for parents through a program called "Because I Love You."

As part of the City's Core Area Vision Plan, the City is exploring the potential purchase of the Stein Mart site as one small step toward implementing the vision for a walkable village, a paseo, and an entry that connects to the Oso Creek Trail. The property's proximity to Oso Creek provides an incredibly unique opportunity to set in motion one of the Vision Plan's core principles, "Connect to the Creek" and also moves the City closer to creating a vibrant community central core.
